Changes After Construction
Various maintenance and repairs have been made to the mosque over time, and it has undergone restoration processes in the 19th and 20th centuries.
The Sultan's Lodge (Hünkar Mahfili) of this single-minaret mosque has collapsed. The top of the mosque's fountain has been covered with a marble ceiling to prevent the water in the pool from pollution.
A comprehensive restoration work was carried out in 2014.
